Now that I have stopped laughing ... I am getting a little cross

He gets a bite that punctures his skin ... surrounded by medicos and he doesn't think to have it cleaned/looked at.

He is a professional athlete ... we are entitled to better

Really? He probably just thought it was a trivial thing he could manage himself and didn’t need to waste the doc’s time with it. I probably wouldn’t have either. Maybe he did get it looked at at the earliest opportunity.

Is it not possible for us to just be able to say “s*** happens” and not get outraged or feel the need to blame someone?

Any aminal bite should be treated by a doctor. So easy to get infections, and I'm sure the club would want to know everything. Considering they have to report any tiny niggle at training.

I would suggest that the story has leaked, which is out of the clubs control.  When a player goes into hospital for surgery, there’s too many people involved for it to remain quiet.

Someone would have had to have leaked it

media would contact hospitals media manager

media manager asks patient if they consent to some information (ie they were admitted )

if no consent media manager says not much at all, certainly does not confirm

if yes, some info confirmed

depends on pt consent

it would be very serious if a hospital staff member leaked it and punishable by hospital

of course someone else in the know might have leaked it

And what sort of surgery is needed for an infected finger?

Surely just a dose of antibiotics would be enough... 

Dog bites can turn out to be a lot more serious than lay folk think.  Often need debridement (cleaning out surgically) especially if they involve a joint.

No....... obviously Jack Watts

Frankly, anyone with half a brain, if they were bitten by a dog, would immediately wash the wound and apply basic antiseptic, at the very least!  To miss a game due to this kinda dumbness beggars belief!!

Barrie.  Maybe he did.  Can be very deceptive.  Hope he has had a tetanus shot updates.

 

PS FMD!!!

 

PPS:  Seriously, does anyone NOT believe in the Norm Smith curse?  (Thanks to the late Dr Don Duffy and those on the committee he either lead or failed to lead ).

can't blame jack watts this time......pity but

could this be more fallout from the cancelled camp?

Nah.  This is entirely Jack's doing.  Had JW still been here he would have stopped the dog from biting CP#5.  How can any sane person doubt this?

Is this a serious question ?

I assume not, but in case it is, the curse is the greatest bit of BS I've ever heard.

But if you're a mentally fragile lightweight believe away.

Nasher...

he is a highly paid professional athlete who relies heavily on his hands.

They report their diet and just about everything else during the season

No excuse for not having it treated early.

If he did have it treated I would have hoped the club would have expanded in that regard.

Standard GP treatment for a dog bite asap after a bite

-dress the wound

-antibiotic injection 

-often a splint

-no exercise for one week

Unless properly treated the infection can infect the finger bone. Worse case scenario tge finger requires amputation. So potentially serious.  There is no way he should have played against Richmond. 

The player should have seen a GP or club doctor. If the club doc was consulted and did nothing, it would be a very basic omission that would be hard to explain.

I don’t believe he would not have reported it. They showed it on the news tonight and it was very noticeable. The doctor or trainer or whoever would have noticed it, even if Trac said nothing. 

Maybe it was treated and was fine, but then he played and it got sweaty and dirty and therefore infected.

It’s pure bad luck. Stock standard MFC stuff really.

If it was treated... fine ... say so... otherwise the football public and the media is  just left looking at another unprofessional example of a struggling football club.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J
